Hello Friends!

I’m back with a quick card for the Fusion Card Challenge “Purple Night”.

This challenge is as below.  One can use just the sketch for inspiration, just the picture, or both.  I decided to go big or go home and went with both.

I bought the Camouflage background stamp several months ago, but had yet to use it.  I decided it would be great for making a “spooky” purple background.  I actually used three different stamp sets to achieve my final result.

I don’t think of the tree stamp in “Life Is Beautiful” as spooky, but given that it’s photopolymer, it’s easy to bend the stamp around a bit to give it more insidious look.  And, of course, Festive Corners filled in for the rest of the “spooky” look!

LET’S GET INKY!

Materials:

Stamp sets:

• Camouflage
• Life Is Beautiful
• Festive Corners

Paper:

• Basic Black for card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ – score and fold at 4 1/4″)
• Brights 6×6 DSP in Gorgeous Grape (1/2″ x 5 3/8″)
• Snowflake Splendor (1/2″ x 5 3/8″)
• Whisper White (5 3/8″x 4 1/8″ – image panel)
• Basic Black 1″ x 5 3/8″, cut in half corner-to-corner to create triangle

Ink:

• Gorgeous Grape
• Tuxedo Black Memento
• Whisper White Craft Ink

Accessories:

• White embossing powder
• Detailed Trio Punch

PUTTING IT TOGETHER:

1. Ink Camouflage stamp in Gorgeous Grape ink and stamp onto Whisper White image panel.
2. Use a sponge brayer and Gorgeous Grape ink to fill in the white spaces of the Camouflage.
3. Use a sponge brayer and Black ink, heavily at the top of the panel, lightening as you proceed downward.
4. Use a sponge to ink the edges of the panel all the way around.
5. Adhere the two 1/2″ strips to the right edge of the panel, and then the black triangle butted up against them.
6. Bend the tree stamp from Life Is Beautiful on your acrylic block so that it fits into the space left on the Camouflage panel and stamp with black ink.
7. 
8. Use the Detailed Trio Punch to curve the corners of the panel.
9. Add the spider image from Festive Corners, one hanging from the tree branch, and one from the top of the upper right corner on the DSP.
10. Stamp “SPOOKY”, from Festive Corners, in Whisper White Craft ink and sprinkle white embossing powder over, tapping excess off.
11. Use heat tool to set the embossing powder.
12. Adhere the image panel onto the Basic Black card base.
